Gary Kelly in a recent interview explained that increased fuel prices are hurting the air transportation market.

With 3 medium sized companies going out of business in April and cutbacks at each major airline including reductions not only in staff but in planes in the air Gary Kelly CEO of Southwest said that the environment is such that a big name company could get grounded.

If you haven’t noticed yet every company out there is adding surcharges for extra luggage and just recently US Air has decided to charge for non-alcoholic drinks which sets them apart from other carriers who have only decided snacks should be a paid item.

Air Travel like no other form of transportation will always be tied to liquid fuel Richard Branson CEO of Virgin Air has decided to move his fleet to BioFuel however with sheer amount of fuel needed to travel we may see a higher dependence on rail for destinations within country leaving the skys to international travel.
